The Peasants or peas-nats around here are very revolting even though we change our woad and rabbit skin skirts every ten years, It might be a good idea to kill the rabbits before we wear them. At least Posh we do have a midden (most will not know what that is) no wonder we get big leeks. "Err" or is that have big leeks Leaks? that Newcastle Brown Ale addles your brain.
It was raining first thing today, but was dry by late morning, so washing went out.
Have just got back from about 10miles West of me where I was fruit picking- dry, pleasant, but a lot of dark clouds around.
Driving back it got darker, but road still dry. About 500yds from home it was wet! Washing not too bad, just put on airer. Going brighter here now, about 15C. J.
Raining but managed to fill my barrow between the showers with weeds and cutting back damaged plants my poor lupins have had a real bashing and poppies over for a few weeks they will come back by end of August
believe this or not,,,, in Tenby Wales we had a full hour of cloudy but warm and dry today hows that for a summer i lifted some three week old cardboard about 2 mts square and collected 156 assorted slugs and they dont like sea water and cant swim cheers all (revenge is was mine today and im getting sad maybe)
Yesterday was cloudy but very warm 20.1c in the garden, the sun did manage to get through the clouds for about half hour, today is cloudy but 16.5c in the garden with a chilly breeze, can't win at the moment, had torrential rain Wednesday from 11pm till 6am Thursday so needless to say the garden is flooded again, come on jet stream get yourself moved so I can have some sunshine and heat.
Today is just about dry- a wee bit of on/off drizzle sometimes. Backgarden is 14+C at the mo.
Am now cooling off after doing more jam making, the kitchen ends up like a sauna even with door/window both open. Oh & I even defrosted the freezer this morning before the fruit session. J.
Oh dear Rain, awoke to sunshine this morning my side of the River Tees although there was some thick cloud, the sun has drifted in and out since and it is warm, no cold wind and no rain. I could see clear across the valley this morning to the Cleveland Hills from Eston nab towards Arden Great Moor that is a good stretch and all the details were in view, the monument and the woods along the hillsides. Did not have much to do this morning now the garden is cleaned up so made a big pan of soup, the lamb chops are marinading for the evening meal, took my daughter some soup when I went to lunch and she gave me scones and curd tart, fair exchange then.
Beautiful sunshine. The weatherman said the temp would be no higher than the high teens. But it's been about 23 C this afternoon. Just lovely - and it all looks good for the weekend, too.
Teesside today blue sky and sunshine since six this morning, a perfect day for the Sunderland Airshow, the biggest free airshow in the world. We get it free because a lot of the planes take off from Teesside and fly straight over us but there will be up to a million people along the Northeast coast from North Shields to Sunderland, we have stopped trying to get there now. May go and dip my toes in the sea at Seaton as I am having an easy day.
Absolutely Brilliant!!! sunshine all the way, will be out in the garden as soon as my cake has finished baking. Lots of jobs to do, weeding, reorganising a border, infact where do I start? Better get out there and get cracking, have a nice day
